Another Brit.  Why am I not surprised.

 

At least he had the sense to leave Thailand after he blew all his money, unlike others.

 

Won’t see him begging on the sidewalk for awhile.

5th floor?  or higher?

Yabba or Ganga would be a guess.

What happened when he landed?

It is likely the Brits do not fool around with idiots like this guy, and will lock him up. Good result.

Correct, its taken very seriosly and will almost certainly result in jail time.

It's a lavatory, not a toilet.

Which language do you speak?  Airlines use the International Language - British English.  How many aircraft have you seen where the signs state 'Lavatory'.  I think you will find they say 'Toilet'.

In the UK lavotory is synonymous with toilet.

 

Upper class Brits call it the lavatory.  Lower class Brits and Americans call it the toilet.  And if you are old-fashioned and pedantic, it's called the WC (water closet).  Chavs call it the bog.

Some americans still call it the can, and also the john. Most people in the Usa won't call it the toilet, usually restroom or men's room or ladies room, more rarely the washroom.

True.  I forgot you have to ask for the "restroom" when you mean the toilet.

Before being allowed to board any commercial aircraft, all would be passengers should be required to submit a registered IQ identification card. No boarding for anyone with less than a 100 IQ. That will stop just about 95 percent of these type incidents.

So you equate low IQ with propensity towards violence?   By your criteria,  you could be a very violent person?

   Yes, people who fight are stupid and  people who fight on airplanes are very stupid

Average IQ around the world is 82, would certainly make it easier for seat selection !

Fully agree. Normally all airlines state that safety is their number one priority, which makes sense. Having this guy in an enclosed space for 11 hours, not knowing what he was going to do next must have made all the cabin crew nervous.

As this was a long haul flight the aircraft would have had a full loads of fuel, which would have needed dumping before returning to Bangkok, which would be very expensive, but they , Thai Airlines, could have given the Brit the bill!

I have a vague recollection of some tale of a guy on a flight losing it and ending up hog tied in a bathroom, another handcuffed to a seat. We had a drunk Vinnie Jones making problems once too. All we can do is have the werewithall to handle such flakes on the flight. Usually male passengers will get up and help subdue someone, As a passenger I am not sure which I would prefer, to land wherever or continue on. Probably the former.

This is a Thai Airways plane so naturally it's a hong nam.

I've seen both. Some airlines have a sign saying "lavatory", others "toilet".

Pity the Airlines don't have the power to impose a restriction order on people who act in this manner
